I used one yesterday on Windows Server 2016 Datacenter because the new version of the only application running there needed .NET 4.7.2. It started IE which after a long sequence of allowing web sites (tracking and not, included Google Analytics) eventually managed to download the installer. IE was already on the server. I really wanted to install Firefox to avoid all that absurdity of whitelisting sites.
